Full details
The Wilkinson Sword Extra Essential 2 Sensitive Disposable Razors are designed for individuals with sensitive skin seeking a close, smooth shave with reduced irritation. Their key benefit lies in the 2-blade system and aloe vera-infused lubricating strip, which work together to minimize discomfort. A potential caveat is that for very coarse hair, a multi-blade razor might be preferred. This pack of 5 disposable razors offers convenience for daily use and travel, focusing on gentle yet effective hair removal.

FAQs
Are these razors suitable for men?
While marketed towards women and sensitive skin, the Wilkinson Sword Extra Essential 2 Sensitive Disposable Razors can be used by anyone seeking a gentle shave, including men for facial stubble or body grooming where sensitivity is a concern.
How often should I replace a disposable razor?
It's recommended to replace disposable razors when the blades become dull or the lubricating strip wears down, typically after 5-10 uses, depending on hair coarseness and frequency of shaving. Using a dull blade can cause irritation.
Can I use these razors on my face?
These razors are designed for sensitive skin and can be used on the face, but caution is advised. Always shave with the direction of hair growth and rinse thoroughly. For heavy beards, a dedicated men's razor might be more effective.
What is the benefit of the aloe vera strip?
The aloe vera in the lubricating strip helps to moisturize the skin as you shave, reducing friction and creating a smoother glide. This can help prevent dryness, irritation, and redness, especially for sensitive skin.
Are these razors eco-friendly?
The razors incorporate sustainable materials, with blades made from 70% recycled steel, handles from 30% recycled plastic, and packaging from 55% vegetable waste. However, as disposable razors, they do contribute to waste over time.
How should I store these razors?
Store your disposable razors in a dry place, ideally with the blades covered if possible, and away from excessive moisture like a shower caddy. This helps maintain blade sharpness and the integrity of the lubricating strip.
Troubleshooting
Razor pulling or tugging hair
Ensure the blade is sharp. Rinse the razor head thoroughly after each stroke. Shave with the grain of your hair growth and consider using a pre-shave oil or more shaving cream.
Skin irritation or redness after shaving
Shave with shorter, gentler strokes in the direction of hair growth. Ensure the lubricating strip is still active. Rinse your skin with cool water after shaving and apply a soothing aftershave balm. Discontinue use if irritation persists.
Lubricating strip wears out quickly
Avoid storing the razor in the shower where it's constantly wet. Rinse and store in a dry location. Replace the razor when the strip is visibly diminished or no longer provides a smooth glide.
Razor clogs easily
Rinse the razor head under strong water pressure after every few strokes. Ensure no excess hair or shaving cream is built up between the blades.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: These are disposable razors and require no assembly. They are ready to use straight out of the packaging.
Compatibility: Suitable for all skin types, with a particular benefit for sensitive skin. They can be used on legs, underarms, and other areas requiring gentle hair removal. Compatibility extends to various shaving foams, gels, or creams.
Care: To maximize the lifespan and performance of each razor:
- Rinse Thoroughly: After each use, rinse the razor head under warm running water to remove hair and shaving residue.
- Store Dry: Store the razor in a dry place, away from direct water spray, to prevent premature rusting of blades and degradation of the lubricating strip.
- Replace When Dull: For optimal results and to prevent irritation, replace the razor once the blades begin to feel dull or the lubricating strip shows significant wear. This typically occurs after several uses.
